Each friend including her will get the grand total of 1/4 of taffy.
or if its just her fiends that get the taffy they will each get 1/3 of the taffy.
Steps to solve:
3(x - 1) = 5x + 3 - 2x
~Distribute left side
3x - 3 = 5x + 3 - 2x
~Combine like terms
3x - 3 = 3x - 3
~Subtract 3x to both sides
-3 = -3
~Add 3 to both sides
0 = 0
All real numbers are solutions.
Best of Luck!
The middle point of BC is (0,2), the midpoint of CD is (1,0)
to prove two lines are parallel, prove their slopes are the same.
slope of BD: m=rise/run=4/-2=-2 (the run is negative because to get to B from D on the grid, you have to move from right to left, then upward. If the horizontal move is from left to right, the run is positive)
slope of EG: m=rise/run=2/-1=-2
EG and BD have the same slope, so they are parallel.
You have to move both decimals over and then divide. So the answer is 25.
Im pretty sure the answer is x=-2
